How open are you about the fact you smoke?

[cannabis=freedom]

I know people who will walk down the street and talk about herb at the top of their voices, not caring who hears. I know other people who will whisper about weed if there's anyone within 100 feet.

I guess I'm somewhere in the middle.

Where do you fall in?

[geonagual]

I am in the middle too. Just depends on the time and place

[Thepossumdance]

i'm probably too open about it not like showing it off yelling about it... but im sure i could be way more discreet about it...

lol my mom liked the oz i picked up for my birthday... she doesnt smoke but is happy it didnt make the house smell skunky like the previous full O i picked up

[happiestmferoutthere]

I hide it from society in general, but in my home pot is KING!

[Skink]

I am so closed mouth that I haven't even smoked since 420... I gotta move!!!

[Eastside_Experiment]

you only have to see me eyes to know which category im in. But yeah i guess because its become like eating sometimes you just forget to be discreet. :stoned:

[weedmaster]

i'm too open with it, i dont yell about it when i'm walking down the street, but i smoke it openly, i don't see anything bad about weed only good so feel i dont need to hide it, and most people today accecpt it for what it is, a relaxation herb.

[KEGS]

I'am a lot more Discreat then when i was younger I would not walk down the street yelling about it. but i would walk down the street burning one
and just cup it if i was passing some one on the street.the worst thing that could happin was get a ticket.

[epicsoundz69]

Im sort of in the middle too i guess.

I dont really hide it, but I dont advertise it either.

[Thepossumdance]

lol my mom liked the oz i picked up for my birthday... she doesnt smoke but is happy it didnt make the house smell skunky like the previous full O i picked up

lolz what a fucking stupid story... kick this asshole out of here...

[420marijuana420]

im in the middle. But it seems like I don't usually tell people I know from way back or people I know before I smoked because that's how they remember me and they usually get pissed off when they hear about it. But new people know me as I am, some one who smokes so I guess it just depends

HEY! WORLD! PSTEVE SMOKES POT! AND HE LIKES IT A LOT!
I've told cops, doctors, social workers, teachers, lawyers, judges, senators, congressmen, mayors, anchormen, reporters, D.J's, priests, neighbors, bums on the street. Anyone and everyone knows I smoke pot. And a lot of them smoked it with me.
I've gone on TV and DARED people to call in and defend the cannabis laws.
I've gone on stage in front of 30,000 people and told them all I smoke pot.
Say it loud! I'm stoned and I'm proud!
I'll give up my bong when they pry my cold dead fingers from the carb' hole.

Haha, word, man. You got some balls. But I am open about it, because I don't care who knows.

[psteve]

Haha, word, man. You got some balls. But I am open about it, because I don't care who knows.Right on.
Everyone should be honest and not hide their true feelings about weed.
Even a dog has balls.

[mfqr]

And even a human has balls. Haha, sorry, I'm drunk. But yes, you're right.

w.....t.......f............:wtf:

[Matt the Funk]

I'm pretty open...If someone's parent doesn't know their kid smokes and would get pised if I did i'll whisper weed related stuff. Also around my brother I try to be discreet.

[napolitana869]

I'm open about it when I'm around people my own age, but not people who are more than 5 or 6 years older than me. I'm open about supporting medical benefits and legalization though.

[Kind Buds]

generally open, except w/ my parents.

[napolitana869]

my parents and my boyfriends mom are the only "adults" that know for sure. I'm sure some others suspect it though. I put adults in quotes because technically my friends and I are adults but I dont really feel like it.

[orangeman]

It's not something that I just bring up if the person doesn't know about it already. If we happen to just talk about it I won't deny the fact, I'm really open about it but I just don't promote it like it's every ones business. Not really all that serious. It's just weed, and yeah I know people that scream about that shit and it just annoys me. I don't talk about growing at all. I deny everything I know about it lol. It's an innocent thing but I don't trust people with that type of info.

[MagicalHerb]

i am the self-proclaimed cannabis king! :rastabanna:
nah just kidding i dont have that huge of an ego ahhaha.
well, i let people know fairly openly because there is nothing wrong with it, in fact im really proud of the fact that i smoke. hopefully them knowing that will lead them onto the road to discovering the truth.

[TheGreenFog]

*whispers*

Anyone got a joint?

hehe


The Fog :rastasmoke:

[LIP]

As a cannabis smoker, i am in the right. I'm not wrong - everyone who thinks badly of me and the plant are wrong. I'm VERY proud. I, somehow, incorperate cannabis into most conversations, with everyone, so everyone i know, knows i smoke it. I'm going to get a tatt of a leaf on the back of my hand - somewhere where everyone can see it. I've even talked about it with police, and had weed on me in my gaff when the police were with me [in the process of lifting me]

I love weed and everything that goes with it - that's probably why i get so pissed off when people bad mouth it. It's like their insulting me personally.

To the next poster - give me a random word, anything. Oil, paint, plastic, car. ANYTHING.

I'll try and relate it to cannabis.

[Sir Bliss]

Concrete. Give that one a try, Lip. heh

I'm fairly open with the fact that I smoke. If someone asks me, of course I'm going to be honest. My brother knows I do, my parents know I do, all my friends know I do. It has become a part of me, and if someone has a problem with it--well, fuck them.

As Lip mentioned, we are the ones who are right. As much as the government, and the world for that matter, wants to believe they are correct; they simply cannot compete with the facts. Cannabis is a significant part of my life, and I'm proud. Here's to many, many, many more years. Toke on.

Damn, i admit, that's a seriously hard one to do.

Erm, hang on. Let me think.

Well, you've got the cannabis man who painted pot leaves on his house - that's bricks and cement, but concrete would make the foundations, but that's not very good is it.

Let me try again.

Oo, if we had pot leaf shapes pressed down in concrete it'd make walking alot more fun - but the oldies would trip over and sue the council, so maybe not the best idea.

One more.

Erm, Well, this one isnt good in the slightest, but it's fairly true - Concrete - thinking of concrete automatically makes me think of builders - and all the ones i've come into contact with have smoked. Smoking weed while grafting is the way to get things done and done well.

Ok, i've tried.

Concrete IS a hard word to link cannabis to. Your too good for me lol!

[Sir Bliss]

Haha, yeah I know. I was thinking of the hardest word possible. I was just looking at random stuff and thinking hmm...well....grass no, light bulb no, dirt no, concrete...YES! That's it.

I admire your effort though! I would never have thought of those ideas :p

[420MissHighTimes420]

I'm open with my family and friends about it. Other than that I'll tell someone is they ask, I wouldn't bring it up. But I wouldn't tell someone who is a cop or a snitch. It's something I find to be 100% okay for me, so I have no need to hide it other than to keep my ass out of jail.

[Delta]

I am open to only my closest of friends. I am a professional in a highly regulated industry and if anyone found out there.....I would get shit canned in a heartbeat. Trust no one but only your closest friends.

[psteve]

Here you go LIP...
From hempevolution.org

BUILDING
Americans are behind the times in terms of cannabis economy. The Dutch, Hungarians, and French already use cannabis as a resource (in fact over 30 countries worldwide already cultivate hemp for industrial purposes). Now in France a concrete substitute from hemp is being developed, and is the start of a giant undeveloped industry for cannabis. Hemp construction for houses and building could provide shelter for everyone, and not just concrete. Hemp fiber and pulp can be processed into drywall or plywood. Cannabis can be used to make particleboard, cabinetry, paneling, and other home construction materials. Using hemp for building would save trees and create new jobs. We could literally build a house from Hemp.

[TheGreenFog]

LIP, I bet there would be some way to make concrete either stronger, or less brittle by incorporating hemp fibers...maybe? :)

Also, I also bet that a bunch of concrete truck drivers & deliverers have lost their jobs simply because they failed a drug test...that is discriminatory IYO, innit?

I tried. ;)


Edit: Oh, shit, psteve beat me to it...and even has a link...I suck. :sadcrying

[sefi]

i dont give a fcuk mostly lol my teachers seems packs of zigzags after i came back from lunch in my front pocket of my dress shirt, and i was talking to him rlly high and he was like , "you could atleast try and hide the zig zags?"lol was funny

[OniEhtRedrum781]

Everyone knows I smoke, EVERYONE


Friends, Family, Teachers, The Babylon... :thumbsup:

[scream]

If you know me and aren't my boss you know I smoke.

[BizzleLuvin]

this is a good thread.
when i first started smoking i was very hush-hush about it. i never spoke about it in public, never ventured in public while high, never wore anything sporting any maryjane references. as i got older and maryjane started becoming an important part of my life, i loosened up a little. i lost that beginners paranoia and started worry less about being stoned in public and bought a belt covered with leaves. i still dont speak loudly about it in public, but if the subject arises between friends, i dont hesitate to chime in. but i dont go walking around, proclaiming my love for the leaf. i realized after a while that my granola hippy look and way of life sorta alludes to my precious past time, people can tell by lookign at me or speaking with me that i probably smoke up on a regular basis. and thats okay with me because while stoners dont always have the best reputation, i usually dont upset anyone and folks find me intelligent and likeable.

[JaggedEdge]

It's not something that I just bring up if the person doesn't know about it already. If we happen to just talk about it I won't deny the fact, I'm really open about it but I just don't promote it like it's every ones business. Not really all that serious.

It's an innocent thing but I don't trust people with that type of info.

I agree with never speaking of growing. I don't even mention to people that I hope to one day grow.

[LuckyG]

If someone asks me whether I smoke, I'll be honest with them about it. I'll also do my best to promote it and shoot down anti-MJ propaganda. I regularly do bong rips in my room, and I'm not too cautious about covering up the noise. Marijuana has helped me a lot, and I'm no longer ashamed about smoking it.

I'm not sure if my mum knows that I do, but I figure the "Canadian Snowboarding Team" t-shirt I brought home that has a pot leaf on the Canadian flag was a big clue... She's cool though, and she trusts me to make my own decisions, which is great.

Hell, my boss is growing some plants for me this summer (I think).

[MacWQ33]

At least around here, smoking trees is looked at as nothing more then smoking a cigarette, so of course I could give a shit less. I'll light a blunt outside my house in the busiest part of the city, doesn't bother me. I always joke with my mom and family about it, and most of my friend's smoke. My family is huge and basically everyone gets drunk at family parties, so they can't really say much about weed...plus all I would have to do is print a few things and that would be that. Over this past year, it's become effortless to shut someone up due to such positive studies.

With that being said, I still wouldn't say I'm very 'open' about it...but that's only because it's not a big deal to me at all...the way I handle it actually does have an effect on people though, because they know I'm smart enough to know if it's bad for me or not.

And considering OC's and dope have taken over coke and weed in my city [which is a shame, most people could keep coke to the weekend, but then the opiates put people in rehab and the whole nine]....weed just isn't so bad anymore, it's pretty much considered a good thing if you're only smoking weed around here.

[Professor Dan K.]

apparently it doesnt matter, at my graduation party everyone said i looked stoned in my grad pic, which i wasnt. so i denied it and they all said i was lying and they werent stupid. but nobody cared.

apparently everyone knows i smoked for the past year but i was oblivious to the obviousness of it.

ohh well, i dont really try and hide it anymore.

[stinkyattic]

It depends upon my surroundings. There's certain places that I feel fine just talking shop with the peeps there because half of them are growers themselves, or used to be. But that's a rare comfort zone, and generally I'm on the DL.

[cannabis=freedom]

Well I see here that no one's really hush-hush about it, and few seem to be over-promotional. I think that's good.

[novell]

ya
im about in the middle to

[M3nt0R]

Damn, i admit, that's a seriously hard one to do.

Erm, hang on. Let me think.
...
Ok, i've tried.

Concrete IS a hard word to link cannabis to. Your too good for me lol!

Well, maybe because I'm high as hell, or because it's more natural to me, but the first thing that came to my mind immediately was dropping the ashes and the mouthpiece of a joint on the concrete sidewalk.

I too am the same way as you...I have a marijuana wristband, marijuana leaf necklace, marijana leaf on my wallet...it's obvious I smoke.

[LazySmoking420]

I take pride in my weed smoking...

When you think about it... how many people really care? Besides cops

[Reefer Rogue]

Not over the top but passionately in favour.

[Kid Dynamite]

I really don't mind talking about weed in the street, i always keep an eye out for the police though...no use attracting unwarranted attention. I would never lie about smoking weed to a stranger, but it isn't the first thing i tell them about myself. So i guess im in between.

[Spoken Word]

Good thread..
It's funny because at first I used to be VERY cautious(sp) and was hiding it from my family. and i smoked A LOT.. it was basically obvious cause i was that typical 15 year old stoner trying to hide it.. lol
im sure everyone knew though
And now, it's quite the oppisite, I am careful but relaxed cause I know they won't say anything. and i also smoke very little........welll.. not as much as before
They do not know I smoke everyday though.. i don't think they would care....i make my own decisions now

The only thing they say is to stay on my toes since it's illegal.

friends? public??
Don't ask, don't tell
besides, fuck em... friends and people who don't smoke have NO important role in my dreams and plans for my future s00oo... that's that

and honestly, it's important to me but weed doesn't dominate my life.
like for example if my future wife (or girlfriend) has a problem with me, it better not be just my taste for cannabis cause i'd like to think im more than a fuckin "pothead".. lol



cops and snitches??? i try to stay as far from them as possible

[Iplaybass182]

Depends on who I'm around. I don't just shout in public that I'm gonna smoke a fat joint when I get home.

This reminds me of a story. On the last day of school as we are leaving I call my guy(hes a senior so hes done early) We ask him to meet me at my house in twenty minutes, he says will do. So my friend's really excited becaues almost our whole area is dry, and screams in the car "I am gone smoke a fat ass bowl of some fine herb." but the sun roof was open so all the teachers just look at our car we duck down and just gunned it out of the parkinglot. Normally we are some what quite it about it but in Highschool almost everyone knows everything unfortunately.

[zino11]

very open, not any one i know dosent know, parents and all, but now im on probation so in a few ill be back

[suhl]

dont walk up to people and say it, but i pretty much quit trying to hide it from anyone other than my parents and even with them if they ask i dont lie about it. i dont broadcast it you know but im really not even careful about keeping my voice down because if it is people i dont know knowing it about me i dont care, and if they are around me long enough they are probably going to find out from someone anyway.:hippy:
